Statistical average probably means nothing in this instance:
The Top 1% of earners pay @40% of all taxes.
The Top 5% of earners pay @60% of all taxes.
The bottom 50% of earners only pay @3% of all taxes. These figure exclude payroll tax of which the Top 1% pay next to nothing and yet accounts for ~40% of all federal revenue.
And since most of the wealth that top 1% enjoy is a transfers from those creating the wealth(labor - per Abe Lincoln) that top 1% is skating on their share in proportion to the protection provided by the state(Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations)
So, while the statistical average may be something like 25K per taxpayer, that's because those top 5% pay many, many times that amount each, and the lower 50% pay much less than that...in fact most of the lower 50% pay no tax and actually get money back...through earned income credits, etc.
The independent group Tax Foundation provides a great deal of data on their site. Even an average by different locales (like city areas), but again that's just the amount of tax collected divided by the number of returns...so say 1 person paying 1 million in tax and 20 paying 10 thousand would show an average of over 57 thousand each.

*note: This data only pertains to Federal Income Tax and doesn't take into account payroll taxes which are extremely regressive.

Does marginal tax and average tax rates increase when taxable income increases?
Yes, marginal tax rates typically increase as taxable income rises, especially in progressive tax systems where higher income brackets are taxed at higher rates. This means that the additional income earned is taxed at a higher rate than lower income levels. However, the average tax rate, which is the total tax paid divided by total income, may not necessarily increase at the same rate, as it reflects the overall tax burden across all income levels. Consequently, while marginal rates increase with income, average rates can fluctuate based on deductions, credits, and the overall distribution of taxable income.
